On Helminen’s build - you picture the engine mount. I thought his tranny mount was cast until he explained how he put it together & polished into one beautiful piece. Great build
Maybe the recipes called for soybeans, so Ford would have more use for them after his failed attempts to make plastic cars out of them. I think he owned a lot of land producing things to innovate into cars.
OMG.......the Ford Cookbook listed the Roundup Room in Dyersville Iowa as one of the three best restaurants for the State of Iowa........My dad was the chef there at the time and my mother worked with him on Fri and Sat nights to help prep for the weekend crowds !! One of my sometimes job on Fri and Sat afternoons was to shell cooked shrimp for the evenings shrimp cocktails. Best meal ever......shrimp cocktail......salads from the salad bar......Iowa top sirloin with side of harsh browns with cheese......and a huge grasshopper ice cream drink for dessert !!
Can you imagine any of the modern car manufacturers courting todays customers in the same way as Ford magazine and cookbooks? Anyways, my dad and mom worked at a competitor to the Maisonette as continentaljohns restaurant page mentions. My dad, a pastry chef made the Sheraton Gibson’s version of crepes, crepes Suzette. He always liked when there was an order for them as he got to work table side and flambé the cherries making a show that ended with applause. Just last month I taught my 9 year old granddaughter to make crepes. No flambé though!
